I'm glad I passed school age before all this insanity started. Well, I was the end of middle school (8th grade) when Columbine happened.

I graduated from HS in 1980. When that insanity in Colorado happened, my wife and I were raising a young family of 3, with our oldest being 7. We definitely were not watching any news about it with them around, as, at the time anyway, we had no clue it would become sickeningly commonplace.
All during HS here in Texas, the student parking lot was full of pickups with full gun racks (shotguns and rifles - especially during deer season). The middle school across from Mom and Pop’s house even had a gun/shooting club.
Not one single incident over all those years, and well beyond…EVER.
Make of that what you will.

On my cruise back from Italy we came across a moderate sized cabined cruiser just bobbing around in the middle of the Atlantic. It wasn't huge it was about the maybe three times the size of a normal motor boat. The ship had to turn around, head back east, turn again and come up along side of it. We didn't know it because many of us were inside because is was a little choppy out there. They had to board the boat to see if there might be someone in it. There wasn't. So they notified whomever it was in charge of picking up wandering boats and continued on to Fort Lauderdale. They speculated that it was a boat that broke lose in one of the hurricanes that season and ended up out there.

Sounds like “Bermuda Triangle” stuff to me…!!! ;)
